I have a John Deere model E that has been rebuilt completely. It seems to run too fast and will also load up after running a short time (from 10 min to 30 min)and blows black smoke-I have the needle open approx,2 turns. Sometimes it comes out of it on its own or dies. I have also adjusted the needle in and it clears up--but seems to starve for fuel-even after it was rebuilt I have drained the fuel tank--any ideas? Thanks.

Make sure the spring is between the needle and the body of the mixing body. This holds the needle from turning while the engine is running. Also check the slot of the mixing needle, I believe it has to be straight Horizonal or vertical the the body of the mixer. One way it runs best the other is runs poor. Time the mag to the hottest spark. Those pre marked gear marks are only for starter refferance. Take the Mag off and hook a VOA meter to the mag. Slowly turn the gear until you see the highest volt reading. That should be the spot to set the mag on the crank gear. Hottest spark when the ignitor opens. It makes a big difference. Slow the engine down by screwing the round knob on the side of the engine just below the exhaust rod, out slowly until you get the desired speed. Too far out will cause the engine to latch out and not run. Then you pull the cover on the side, reset the latch and screw in the knob some.

Your problem is caused by the carburetor needle being screwed out too far. The engine is getting way too much gas. A general rule of thumb on old engines is to screw the carburetor needle all the way in, and then open it about a 1/4 turn. That's right, one quarter turn. Then fine tune it from there.

If the engine acts as if it is fuel starved when you turn the needle in farther, you should check the check valve on the end of the fuel line in the tank. It may not be seating properly. You do have a check valve on the fuel line, don't you? Also, make sure that the fuel line itself is not stopped up, or kinked so that it does not allow a good fuel flow.
